Fans of GOT7, officially known as iGOT7 or Ahgase, have shown their support following the announcement of member Yugyeom's military enlistment date. On Saturday, August 23, 2025, the management of South Korean boy band GOT7 revealed the enlistment date for one of the group’s members.
It has been announced that Kim Yugyeom will enlist on September 29, 2025. According to a statement by AOMG, as reported by Soompi, the 27-year-old idol will join the military band to carry out his mandatory service.
“Hello, this is AOMG. First, we would like to thank all the fans who have given their love to our artist, Yugyeom. We are making an announcement regarding Yugyeom’s military enlistment. Yugyeom was recently notified by the Military Manpower Administration that he had been accepted as a “specialist soldier.” Therefore, in order to fulfill his military duty, Yugyeom will enlist on September 29 and undergo basic military training, after which he will carry out his military service in the army band.”
The management did not disclose the location of the enlistment ceremony to prevent fans from attending and causing confusion and crowding at the event.
“As the enlistment ceremony is an event that will be attended by many soldiers aside from Yugyeom and their families, we will not be revealing the schedule or location in order to prevent an accident due to on-site confusion or crowding. Therefore, we ask that you refrain from attending the enlistment ceremony, and we will not be holding a separate event [for fans to send him off] on the day of Yugyeom’s enlistment.”
“We ask that you continue to give your love and support to Yugyeom, who will return after diligently carrying out his military duty, and AOMG will also continue to give him our unsparing support and encouragement during his military service,” the statement concluded.
